TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1919. My Country 'Tia of Thao, 8waot Land of Llborty." THE SENATE RACE. Two candidates have come out for the office of senator from Lancaster county?two good men, substantial and energetic farmers and business men. The News is so ignorant of political conditions, however, that it js unable to say, even as a prediction, that either has the advantage over the other, nor are we able to say these and no more will aspire to the office, which was recently made vacant by the d* ath of Senator Hough. The two candidates who have made announcements, S. K. Bailes and J. Roy Cunningham, are well known throughout the county. They were both candidates for the house in the primaries of last August and made vigoious campaigns. Whether their positions on various public questions will meet with the nnnroval of tlm people of the county, we are unable to say, for the reason that they have not stated their posit'ms, lately, upon the question of g< woman suffrage, and others ..v- now before the people. The News would be glad if they would ure more of its space in discussions of public questions, at least to the point of explaining their own po itions. so that the leaders of the paper may know what they may expect if they are voted for and elected. By the time the next legislature meets, sentiment will have rrystalized in favor of the state doing something in the way of building and maintaining state highways; it will he a very important question, and the people of South Carolina are not expecting the next legislature to full down in the passage of necessary legislation as did the one of the present year. Lancaster county's representatives should he in the forefront when these matters come up, and >hoic is no necessity and no excuse for Lancaster count} following the procession. Anybody can follow, hut it takes a man in isau. inis is me Kino 01 man wo want in the senate and in the house. Knowing the two candidates who are out as The News knows them, we would hate to seo theiu beat at anything they go after, tint unless they are "right" on the important public questions which are now occupying the mind - of the people, they should not bt voted for. The ratification of the woman suffrage amendment to the federal constitution is another of those questions. As The N'ews has stated on several occasions the amendment will, doubtless, he ratified whether or not the South Carolina legislature ratifies it, but it is had policy to be forever in the minority The old saying that, "I would rather be right than president." is good enough so far as it reaches, hut it is entirely possible to he both right and president. The average man had much rather be right, even though he loses a fight, than to win on the wrong side and against his convictions, but in the matter of good roads and woman suffrage, it is possible to be right and favor both. feet's have a fall and free discussion of public questions In the newspapers before we elect a senator. BUSINESS. J time The South is rapidly approaching a Road period of wonderful development de- build spite the labor diiliculties. Nothing high remaius to be done but go after bus- in in iness, and the man who is going afteridenu it now is getting it. Julian L.
